mitt romney and todd corbett for this chicanery. they're going to have a conversation with them at the polls on november the 6th. >> let me ask you, kathy, why did this creep up on so many people? i have been making some noise about it, but this is like a multistate thing, something like 20 or 30 states involved in this, all basically pushed by the republicans, all pushed to stamping down on the chance of minority people and older people to vote. clearly partisan and ethnic in nature. here we are, i may be the only one on national television yelling about this thing, but it just seems -- as bill clinton said beautifully, it's blatant and yet nobody's been raising hell about it. >> that's right. we're in the nonprofit sector and we've been doing everything we can to fight back against the biggest wave of voter sue expression we've seen since 1965. these types of restrictions are like poll taxes and literacy tests. we need to fight back and keep on fighting back. we're very glad for the victory in pennsylvania but we hope that the jus

it tightens up and mitt romney is ahead. i think it's a very volatile, and as in iowa as in other places, it is touch and go. and i think it's going to be a close race. i don't think it's going to be a cakewalk for whoever wins in iowa. but barack obama seems to be back to where he was in september, which is sort of remarkable given the fact that we've had, you know, debates and the vice presidential debate and problems in libya and other things, and yet the poll numbers are now back to where they were. so i would say that what is happening in iowa is in fact iowa is a swing state that is going to begin to trend i think more and more towards the democrats because the rural areas and small towns are shrinking, and suburban areas and nonagricultural activities, including technology and biotechnology and so on are growing. so i think the numbers that we're seeing now are probably not too bad. >> you know, when we look -- and put this in context for us, steffen. when we look back to 2008, this was a very important state for pres
